Dear Mama,

Thought I'd drop a line
And give the news to you
Town hoppin', hoppin' the town
Anawanda, Kookamonga, Sham-ba-doo
Everybody's hoppin' the town

Hangin' around, gettin' me down,
Brushin' my hair on the sidewalk
What am I doin'? I'm always groovin'
Diggin' the guys in the next block

(ohh)

Sideloada, Bismoda, Malibu
Town hoppin', hoppin' the town
Groovin' on the highway,
It's the thing to do
Everybody's hoppin' the town

Savin' a dime, wastin' my time
I don't even have an alarm clock
Stashin' my bedroll
I've got a head cold
Call me collect at the next stop
Everybody's hoppin' the town

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la la

Sideloada, Bismoda, Malibu
Town hoppin', hoppin' the town
Groovin' on the highway
Is the thing to do
Everybody's hoppin' the town

Savi' a dime, wastin' my time
Don't even have an alarm clock (yeah)
Stashin' my bedroll
I've got a head cold
Call me collect at the next stop
Everybody's hoppin' the town

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la
